‘Yash Chopra had a soft corner for Pak’

Mumbai, Oct 29: Saying she had a "long love history with Mumbai", visiting Pakistani director Iram Parveen Bilal says late Bollywood veteran Yash Chopra, who had a "soft corner for Pakistan", was such a source of inspiration for her that after graduating in engineering she took the plunge into filmmaking. The young director, who has made her first film after four years of arduous work, grew up watching Chopra's evergreen romances "Kabhi Kabhie", "Chandni" and the like. "I have always been a big nerd and I was selected to go to the Asian Olympiad of Physics. But my parents and me always loved Bollywood films. I have been brought up in Nigeria and Pakistan and I grew up watching films like 'Silsila', 'Kabhi Kabhie', 'Chandni'," Bilal told IANS in an interview. IANS
